Dana White Talks
Conor McGregor & more!Dana White recently spoke to UFC.com about
the contenders in the UFC Featherweight Division. Here is what he had to
say… “Especially with all the excitement in that division with Conor
McGregor, Cub Swanson and Frankie Edgar – that division is so exciting that
people are talking about freaking Nik Lentz and Dennis Bermudez. I told Cub
and Frankie, ‘Don’t worry about anything you hear with all the Conor
McGregor talk and all the other stuff. You worry about Cub Swanson and you
worry about Frankie Edgar.’ Believe me, the fact that people are arguing
over who should get a title shot in the 145-pound division isn’t a bad
thing. It’s a good thing.”

The event takes place on February 16 at London's Wembley Arena. The main card is on FUEL TV after preliminary fights on Facebook. Nelson vs Santiago will be on the main card.

Nelson made his debut in September at UFC on FUEL TV 5 and beat DaMarques Johnson by submission in the first round. It was his tenth stoppage win in ten wins. Santiago will return to the UFC for a third run. His first UFC run was 1-2 in 2006 before a 11-1 run in organizations like Strikeforce and World Victory Road/Sengoku. He returned to the UFC in 2011 before back-to-back losses to Brian Stann and Demian Maia. He then had back-to-back first round wins in TItan FC over Leonardo Pecanha and Justin Guthrie.
